My top (recent) moments with my dad....
- He fell in love with some woman on DWTS and begged his friend to get him in the show
- My mom yelled at us for “shopping like maniacs,” and took away all our credit cards so we collected all the coins in our house (and on the bottom of her bags), brought them to coinstar and then went to the Polo Lounge for lunch
Molly (my dad’s office mate) shares her top favorites....
- His entire office is covered with Simpson bobbleheads and he has never watched the show
- I no longer read gossip blogs and mags because he fills me in on the latest gossip—he loves Page Six
- He gets really excited every Friday for “Friday pizza” extra large cheese, well done. I order- he pays.. works out great.
- Everyday he talks on the phone with Robbie (his bestie) and they gossip like little teenage girls
**Dad and Robbie at Amie's Bachelorette Party ( Yep, Amie wanted to spend the time with my dad)
His Mother (my radical Grandmother) says....
My favorite story about your father happened when he was about 8 years old. We had just moved into a new house in Charlotte, N.C. There was lot of construction (of houses) all around us.
One day your dad wanted to show me what he had done. He said, "Come to the back of the house." So, I went out with him, and he proudly showed me all the wood he had taken from a construction site. I told him that was stealing and he had to take the wood back to the workers.
The next day , I was taking the car out to do something and all the men were looking at me, pointing and laughing. I knew your father was behind it. So, when he came back from school I asked him what he told the men when he returned the wood. After a little bit of an argument, he told me the truth. Allen told all the workers that his mother was a kleptomaniac and he is always having to return things she steals.
Eric shares a few Nella moments.....
-When my grandfather died I was quite upset. I was having a hard time holding in my emotions. Alison and dad kept giving me dirty looks and calling me a baby. They even whispered “P*SSY” a few times. After a while, he just came behind me, put a pill in my hand and said, “Swallow this and shut up, you are upsetting your mother.” That’s a classic Nella moment
-There were 3 years where dad did not eat carbs, ran like a maniac and kept telling me and Ali to stop eating
- My all time fav memory is going to the gun range in the mountains where he was convinced that we were going to be killed so he had a gun on his waist band. FYI, I was 11
Jeremy...
Jeremy and I dated for 4 years. My dad loves Jeremy more than me and Eric combined. Whenever we see Jeremy he gets teary eyed and tells me that no one is as special as him. He also has a picture of us next to his bed. We have been broken up for 5 years now and he still gets upset about the break up. Real normal. Anyways, Jeremy and my dad would hang out every day after school—most of the time without me. His favorite memories:
- I like how your dad would go crazy about your mom never coming home for dinner.At 5:30 he would start calling her make sure she left. Of course he blamed it on me and said that dinner had to be early cause I had to go home and eat with my family at 7
- We all know your dad has beautiful calves ...was a bit weird how he talked about his calves as if they were sculptures he was working on
- I like when he actually thought something was funny, he'd laugh and then say, "that's funny"
- How weird was it that he always switched the names of your friends or just pretended that he didn't know them at all and they would freak out every time
- Watching the Food Network with him every day after school followed by watching him make dinner awhile telling me he was better than all the chefs
* My dad's favorite picture!
Lizzie (my 2nd best friend)...
- Walking into your living room and seeing your father wrapped in his blanket and telling me, "Look Liz, don't I look like I am a burrito"
- I was a freshman when Ali was a senior. He thought it was funny that all the boys looked at me. So one day, he just called it out and said, " Liz, just run across the living room so the boys could get a better look at my freshman butt"
- Each and every time I share a meal with the man at Arts
